This is a pretty special piece. One of those paintings that felt like it held some kind of magic. I know when I feel that way I have to put it aside.

YouTube
I just started a YouTube channel! I have been meaning to do this for years, people constantly asking me if I have one. Well now I do!
In the last week I posted a few super short clips I filmed in the studio. Today I edited my first proper video with text and music. I occasionally put together videos in my other life as a video game artist. It was so rare though that the software was always new to me and it took ages to sort out. So this one I put together with iMovie on my Apple laptop. Having never used iMovie, I was hesitant but it was incredibly simple. Check it out if you get a chance. I will be doing a lot more work on YouTube in the coming year!
Last of 2019
One of my top nine of 2019. This one was sold through Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. I had a solo show at the gallery last February, this painting was part of that exhibit.
Kootenai Mirror (top 9 in 2019)
Another painting from my top nine of 2019, according to Instagram! This painting was inspired by a winter trek to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. The beautiful area is very far North Idaho.
The painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming!
What I Know
What I know
I don’t have anymore answers. I ran out of questions long before. A simple hesitation turns to a silent moment. Another breath of air exhaled slow.
Sliver of Light
A modest sized acrylic painting. Continuing some rainbow exploration. I have some very large art panels waiting for me!

Best Nine
I wasn’t going to do it this year, but my will is weak. Here are my best nine from Instagram!
Thank you all for so much support in 2019. As an introvert sharing my art online runs contrary to all of my solitary instincts. I am alive, inspired and motivated so 2020, be gentle.
